Welcome to Dale End Farm

Your home away from home in the Peak District

Dale End Farm Bakewell holiday lets are a retreat for the soul. The newly renovated cow sheds are warm, welcoming and well serviced.

The properties benefit from fully fitted kitchens with new appliances including washing machines, dishwashers, fridge freezers all integrated. They have new everything and have been tastefully updated to offer luxury self catering accommodation with short access to Chatsworth House, Hadden Hall, Bakewell.

The landscape of the Peak District can be fully absorbed from the bi-fold doors in each cottage looking out to amazing landscapes up the valley.

Gratton Dale is right across Gratton Lane to the right of the traditional red telephone box. The Dale is a stunning walk which is every bit as peaceful as it is breath taking.

Have just come back from a lovely relaxing break away with my family, we stayed in Zoe’s Cow shed which had everything that you needed! Zoe and Steve were very welcoming and friendly and we will definitely be back in 2021! And even met the 3 alpacas 🦙

I recently stayed here with my family for a few nights and it was an extremely relaxing break. With beautiful views all around the farm, welcoming hosts Steve and Zoe and comfortable accommodation there was nothing to stop us from relaxing, enjoying the local area and spending much needed time catching up with each other. Everything that you need for a few days away is provided in 'Zoes Cow Shed' from a well equipped kitchen including a freezer and dishwasher to the comfortable (very clean) bedrooms. There is a large lounge area and huge kitchen table that seats 6 easily for meals, laughter and board games! We made use of the BBQ and outside seating on our first night with really good quality produce from a local butcher recommended by Steve. Overall a peaceful, comfortable and successful break. We will definitely be back next year.

We had an amazing time at Dale End Farm. We rented both cottages for 6 adults, 4 children and a dog and there was plenty of space. Both cottages were well equipped and beautifully furnished. It was such a peaceful stay and the children loved all of the animals. I would highly recommend and will be back x

Came here to celebrate my daughters 30th birthday with the grandchildren, absolutely beautiful surroundings, alpacas outside our bedroom window, horses, sheep, pigs, we were even shown a two day old chick and another one that was just emerging from its shell, the children were so exited, would definitely recommend as we will love to come back

We have just come home from a lovely few days break here! We rented both sheds as there were 7 adults and 3 kids but it accommodated us perfectly! The sheds have everything you would need and are decorated beautifully - lots of space to relax and really comfy. The space around the sheds is fab for kids- they got to greet horses, alpacas, lambs, pigs, chickens and the occasional peacock every morning! Really easy to get to local towns such as Matlock/Buxton/Bakewell etc.Steve was a great host and made sure we had everything we need (was even understanding when my husband accidentally took the key home 🙈)Thanks for having us - we will definitely be back!

Had a lovely 4 days at Dale End Farm, Gratton in Steve’s Old Cow Shed. Really welcoming family and great location; just over an hour from Nottingham, 25 mins to Chatsworth and 35 mins to Hope Valley. Several lovely dale and Moor walks straight from the farm too...quiet and perfect location to explore the Peaks either waking or cycling. Thanks..!

A wonderful weekend spent with family at Dale End Farm, we were split across the 2 cow sheds which are both immaculate, clean, spacious with everything you need at hand.. Zoe and Stephen were both very friendly accommodating and the hospitality was second to none! The area is beautiful with Bakewell only a short drive away. Would definitely recommend Dale End Farm and hope to visit again in the future, thank you

We have just returned as a family of four from a fabulous stay at Dale End Farm. We were in Zoe's shed which is both cosy and stylish. The accommodation provides two bedrooms one double and a twin room more than enough room for us with the spacious open plan living kitchen and dining area. The accommodation is very well equipped with everything you need and the bonus of a decent hairdryer. The surrounds are idilic with alpacas grazing and ducks and chickens walking by. Steve, Zoe and Ann were lovely hosts and on hand to recommend restaurants and local walks. I would definitely recommend Robin Hood Stride an amazing formation of rocks , view and walk. All in all we had a great stay, accommodation, walks, scenery and hosts were fabulous would definitely recommend and look forward to returning.

10 of my Yoga Retreat guests stayed in Zoe and Steve's Sheds. Zoe is super friendly, and has an interest in Yoga which was really lovely! She left home baked goods in the rooms for my guests. They all left great reviews and especially enjoyed waking up to the alpacas! We're looking forward to returning 3 times next year.

Spent Spring Bank Holiday here, hiring both cow sheds for my Dad’s 80th Birthday - all 10 of us had a fantastic time. The accommodation was excellent and well equipped. We loved seeing the Alpacas in the surrounding field and the friendly peacock. Thanks Zoe and Steve. We will be back x

We stayed at Dale End Farm for a friend's 30th birthday weekend. The cottages were immaculate, comfortable and well equipped for our every need. Gorgeous views from every window and the added bonus of three alpacas grazing nearby! I would highly recommend staying here for a holiday in the beautiful Peak District.

A fantastic and relaxing weekend was spent at Dale End Farm and we cannot wait to return. Zoe and Steve are a chilled and knowledgeable couple, they communicated well through the booking process and although appearing invisible were available when questions arose.The drive up to the house was stunning and we stopped on multiple occasions to take pictures; Chatswood House, Bakewell and a farmers market we visited were all a short drive away.The cottage is sublime, absolutely spotless and renovated to a very high specification. Beautiful wood kitchen, ensuite to our bedroom, main bathroom is large and the whole cottage was full of what appeared to be John Lewis furnishings, we even asked for the mattress manufacturers name as we slept so well. Tasty biscuits awaited us when we arrived (sugar free homemade), with a pint of milk already in the fridge to go with tea making facilities. Every morning we awoke to silence, and were greeted with the three raised heads of the friendly alpacas they have in the field behind the garden. Ask about the local pub, we experienced a fantastic taster menu with great wine which was an unexpected treat!Booked again for next year! 10/10.

Had a fabulous times staying at Dale End Farm in the 5 Star, two bedroom cottage.. I was over whelmed with the beautiful, first class, spotlessly clean cottage which has everything that you could wish for, for a luxurious break with breath taking views & fabulous hosts what more could you wish for? Thankyou so much Zoe & Ann .. will definitely be back xxxx

Set in the stunning peak district only a short drive from hubs such as Matlock and Carsington Waters, we had the pleasure of spending a lovely evening -in this gorgeous accommodation. If you want to 'get away from it all' but enjoy comfort and have high standards this is the place for you!On entering our cottage we discovered a treat of homemake cookies and healthy brownies. The cottages are decorated to a high spec-with all mod cons(eg dishwasher/wifi), they have a cosy feel but are spacious. In the morning we awoke to the stunning backdrop of the peak district with the added quirk of alpacas in a field just metres from our cottage. Zoe-the very friendly and helpful owner-lives in the farmhouse across the way and is on hand if help is needed eg the password for the wifi! We enjoyed our walk in the surrounding village. I'd consider myself well travelled and would highly recommend this accommodation-and will definitely be returning in the next few months-for hopefully a longer stay!

All I can say is "wow!" Zoe & Steve gave us not just a warm & friendly welcome, but the cottage itself really reflected thought, care & attention to detail that made us feel very at home. We spent a lovely few days there recently with family - it makes for a superb place to meet up in that way, so if you have family members scattered around the UK, do consider this to be *the* meeting place.The surrounding area (the wonderful Peak Distrcit) has so much to offer too, to suit all ages.Definitely on my bucket list to revisit!.Thanks again Zoe & Steve.

I stayed here recently and it was brilliant, peaceful and relaxing. The accommodation is extremely comfortable and decorated to a high standard. The local area is great for exploring especially if you find the local farmers market. Would recommend this for anyone who is looking for a relaxing break in a beautiful area with family or friends.
